Reys le Waleys (1421)

Reys le Waleys

You were born in Wales to an English resistance fighter and hero. He died when you were 6 while fighting those monsters. Your mother picked up the family and moved to Dublin as the English moved into your village to burn everything. You never forgot that. You mother sent you to receive your education at a Norman Monastery in English controlled lands, but Irish by tradition. You quit by the time you were 15 and began to work regular jobs.

Over the last few years, you have made English life in Dublin a living hell. You salt fields when you get the money, kill livestock, and steal from those that are better off. All through that time, you’ve managed to keep in touch with the real fighters in Wales.

Now, after 5 years of that, an opportunity has come. You have received word from your father’s old friends that a few Welshmen were coming to town. William is invited to a huge social in the town of Dun Boyne that will provide the perfect opportunity to size up the English and court Irish allies. You already know of one in particular. Fergus O’Sullivan. Ever since the plagues began again in Dublin last year, he’s been sneaking into town and burning the English food stores. It’s amazing he has the energy, because of the Irish famine that is taking place.

Your contacts have found out that this meeting isn’t just a joust/dance. It is a chance for the English and Irish leaders to meet each other and discuss a possible food for water exchange. If those two parties reach any agreement, it would not look good for Wales.

As a bonus, your brother claims to have found a way to fix the problems the Irish are having. It involves the casting of a spell. He is a member of a small sect of priests known as the Order of the Red Daggers. They would easily be condemned as heretical if church officials ever found out, but it doesn’t bother you. Family ties are the kind that bind. You do whatever you can to make sure that his secret is safe. If what he says about fixing the famine is true, you might be able to stop the Irish from dealing with the English in Dublin.

You have met the Welshmen (Seysild O’Loinsigh and Cadugan O’Ceallaigh) and have hooked up with your brother in the town of Dun Boyne. All that’s left is to find Fergus and you will be on your way. That crazy bastard should have a few ideas on how you can raise hell at this party without exposing yourself to the authorities.

Well, you have a lot to do this weekend, so go save the mother land.


What is this?
